1. A river in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, West Wales, which flows into Carmarthen Bay.

   Rhydowen, the next station, 10¼ miles from Whitland, has a goods loop and only a wooden building. The Taf is crossed beyond the station, and the railway passes from Carmarthenshire into Pembrokeshire, but the river is recrossed before Llanfyrnach is reached.

   It only remains to notice briefly the branch from Whitland to Cardigan, which for a few miles pursues its tortuous and picturesque course along the valley of the Taf, thence rising by very severe gradients to Crymmych Arms, near to which station is a striking horse-shoe curve.
